Kyle Larson did it again.
The 2021 Cup Series champion has fared better than most during the 2022 campaign. Larson has notched nine top-five finishes, second-most in the series, behind only Trackhouse Racing's Ross Chastain.
Larson gave himself a great opportunity to add to that total when he claimed the pole position for Sunday's race at Richmond. Larson outpaced Chastain in the final round of qualifying Saturday to nab his third pole of the 2022 season.

The Federated Auto Parts 400 should be an enthralling race.

They're all sitting just outside the field heading into the race.

Larson is seeking his second victory of the season. The 30-year old notched 10 wins en route to his Cup Series title last year.
Interestingly, Larson left Richmond for Iowa shortly after Saturday's race as he attempted to defend his title in the 50-lap Knoxville Nationals.
